and half or five years of my expert

taking quiuine, in larger doses from
year 70 year, and kept on getting weak

time My trouble was now well de-

regular. / had dumb ague In its worst
form, and it was grinding me down in

had gone all through and over me and
nothing was able to touch it. | was

or even human speech. My temper
was extremely irritable. As to food,

other stimulants and on mySeJ like a
bear in winter. The quinine set my
head in a whirl, and the liquor-giyep

sick | could not tolerate it.
From 175 pounds (my proper weight)
ran down to 81 polinds-the weight
of lignf girl-and was scarcely better
than q skeleton.

During the latter part Of this period
early in 1856, my physician aaiQ

On the strength of this I gave up the

She told me of it. | said: "StuG anC
nonsense! II can't do me any good.
But she went to druggists, neverthe
less, to get. it. The druggist advised
her against Kaslline: he sad it wa
nothing but sugar; that she ought no
to throw away her money on it, &c
He said he didn't keep it, but could ge
it if she insisted on having it. Turn

Almost against my will, and withou
the least faith, l began taking it. L
